Time 10h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (16 ounce) package dried black-eyed peas
1 (8 ounce) bone-in ham steak
3 slices thick-cut bacon
1 medium onion, diced
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 medium lemon, juiced
2 leaf (blank)s bay leaves
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups chicken broth, or as needed to cover
1 ½ cups warm cooked rice
3 stalks green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Place black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Drain peas. Dice ham and reserve the bone.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve for garnish.
  • Saute onion and celery in the bacon drippings over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Drain the bacon fat and transfer vegetables to a soup pot.
  • Add peas, diced ham, ham bone, tomatoes, lemon juice, bay leaves, Creole seasoning, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cover with chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer until peas are soft, about 2 hours. Remove bay leaves and ham bone.
  • Serve over warm rice with crumbled bacon and green onions sprinkled over top.
